Joshua Daniels

Joshua Daniels

Transplant Type: Kidney

Joshua Daniels is awaiting a new lease on life. He was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) when he was only 18 years old. His condition is caused by a congenital birth defect. Joshua has been on dialysis for the past 12 years, which leaves him tired and takes a toll on his quality of life. Doctors say a kidney transplant is critical.

During this difficult time, Joshua is thankful for the love and support of his fiancée, Karissa, and their family and friends. Joshua has a 10-year-old daughter, and his illness causes a lot of worry for his family. He looks forward to receiving a transplant that will give him back his energy and free him from dialysis. Joshua enjoys spending time with his family, attending church, and playing music, but his health and dialysis schedule now limits his activities. He wants nothing more than to be healthy so he can continue to enjoy life with his family, work full time, and focus on developing as a musician. Joshua is especially looking forward to being married soon. But right now, he needs your help.

The average kidney transplant costs more than $414,000, and that’s only the beginning. Even with insurance, which will cover a portion of the transplant costs, Joshua still faces significant expenses related to the surgery. For the rest of his life, he will need follow-up care and anti-rejection medications. Post-transplant medications are very expensive, and they’re as critical to his survival as the transplant itself. Joshua’s declining health prevents him from working full time, further adding to his financial burdens.
